Quick take
A 120 mm floating popper designed for offshore pelagic species with a wide cup to create surface disturbance.
The Contact Feed Popper from Tackle House is a floating topwater popper about 4.7 inches long and 1.1 oz. Its wide cup throws water as it is popped, a good fit for anglers working offshore pelagics like tuna, bonito and amberjack. This Sardine Redberry Slit HG #08 version suits casting to surface-feeding fish.
Best for
- Tuna and bonito on the surface
- Amberjack and mahi-mahi around structure
- Open water trolling and casting
Skip if
- You fish inshore or freshwater species
- You need a sinking lure for deep presentations
Strengths
- Wide cup design creates loud pops and water splash visible at distance
- Floating design allows for pause-and-pop retrieves
- Size and weight suit large offshore gamefish
Trade-offs

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
